Just look at that face!
I bet you are smiling.
I've been waiting for years to get a decent photo of the Golden Lion Tamarins.
Their move into the Natural Encounters building allowed me to finally get that shot.
Breakfast had just been served.

Lion tamarins take their name from their impressive manes.
The Golden Lion Tamarin my be the most beautiful of the four lion tamarin species.
Critically endangered, the tamarins live in Brazil's coastal rain forests.
These rain forests are disappearing due to ever-expanding logging, agriculture,
and industry.

They are beautiful indeed. Oh why do we humans treat our wildlife with such disrespect and threaten their very existence? Lovely photographs.

Beautiful highlights in that fur! Covergirl quality! How terribly sad that they are so endangered.

They're so very beautiful. It makes me profoundly sad they're disappearing because of human folly...

I did not know there was 4 species of them. They are very sweet. I´ve seen them on tv once or twice. Glad you finally met with them.
